i thing that dmd is the right place. there is little sense in building
brand new phobos without brand new dmd with all fixes and enhancements
anyway, so i believe that most people who wants to rebuild phobos and
druntime are already has dmd repo cloned.

besides, this is a basic thing, which is of almost no use for ldc and
gdc anyway.

i vote for dmd.
